Handout 10th Grade Booklets

Mini-lesson: Drawing inferences and supporting with text evidence.

• In paragraph 1, Tiresias proclaims, "If he but fail to recognize himself, a long life he may have, beneath the sun."
• What can we infer Tiresias' prophecy means?
• Model "Question, It Says, I Say, So" to infer meaning from text.

Group Work:

• Look at paragraph 2. What does Juno mean when she says “Your tongue, so freely wagged at my expense, shall be of little use; your endless voice, much shorter than your tongue”? Use evidence from paragraph two to support your explanation.
• Create a "Question, It Says, I Say, So" chart to infer meaning from text.
